To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IDA STERN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have in:

vented a certain new and useful composition of matter to be used for cleaning all kinds of glass, cleaning and polishing all kinds of metal, and cleaning and removing spots and stains from woolen cloth and'woolen clothes, (Case No. 1,) of which the following is a full, clear, concise, and exact description.

I take three and one-half (3%) pounds of clear pale resin and mix and dissolve it with one (1) gallon of oil of turpentine, which produces a certain mixture. I then take one (1) teaspoonful of the above mixture, stir it up a few minutes, and pour into it slowly thirtyeight (38) teaspoonfulsof ammonia of ten-percent. strength. I thereupon pour into the above composition two (2) teaspoonfuls of kerosene and shake up the entire composition.

The above composition is used in the following way, viz: Take a cloth which has been wetted with the mixture and with the cloth so wettedrub the metal, glass, or cloth which is to be cleaned until the glass or metal is bright and clean or the stains or spots are entirely removed from the woolen cloth or woolen clothes. Then wipe the metal, glass, or cloth with a dry woolen cloth.

By the use of the above-named composition the dirt is thoroughly removed from the glass and the metal and all rust is thoroughly removed from the metal. The metal is brighter and cleaner, and it will not tarnish at any time after it is cleaned by the above composition. The metal is not at all injured or impaired by the use of the above composition, and the composition is not in any way affected by the change in weather or temperature. The stains and spots are entirely removed from the woolen cloth or woolen clothes.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent of the United States, is-'- The herein-described composition of matter for cleaning and polishing consisting of ammonia, varnish composed of turpentine and resin, and kerosene in substantially the proportions specified to wit: one (1) teaspoonful of varnish composed of turpentine and resin; thirty-eight (38) teaspoonfuls of ammonia of ten-per-cent. strength; and two (2) teaspoonfuls of kerosene.

In witness whereof I hereunto subscribe my name this 26th day of February, A. D. 1902.

IDA STERN.
